Speed.....
 

What kind of speed can I expect from a 2002 342 with 496HO's?
It's loaded with A/C, refrig, microwave, etc

This is just a guess, but I would guess you MIGHT crack 70gps.......just a guess though. Fever29 will know, e-mail him. He has a 342 with 454's

Ho's,,, I would have to gues 70 also,,, within 2 mph either way

70ish is my guess too.

Dealer is going to let me try some of his race props. It has non-labbed 26 four blades from the factory. He thinks that I will pick up at least 2 more MPH after it is broke in.

Dont hold your breath !!!!!!!!

That wasnt being sarcastic to you ,,, just dont expect it !!!!!!!!!

That would mean you would be picking up 30+ HP by the motors losening up.

Yeah, be careful of what this guy tells you, he is lieing by telling you it will pick up 2 mph.....unless he was talking about dialing it in or something. Just a motor breakin will not help you gain anything, and if it does, it would onlybe a few hp EITHER WAY according to a dyno. HAve fun with the boat though sounds sweet....

Got Pics:D :D
